I'm new and I just wanted to know if there is some way to save the pdf form once it is filled out as one of the field that the user fills out.
What I have is a form that the user fills out and I want to save the form as one of the text fields. Say the user's name

Yes, there is a function in the "Doc" object for saving the file, "doc.saveAs()". Look it up in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference. To use this function from a LiveCycle document you'd call it through the event object like this.

event.target.saveAs();

If the form is viewed in Reader, it will need "Reader Extensions", which can be applied from the "Advanced" menu in Acrobat Professional 8.
